Help me out? Class A Job.

Maybe he's right? I know Cemex or any of the other companies won't let you in the door without a CDL A.

And Cemex had without question the most strict medical exam in trucking.

You took your physical at a local major hospital, with a full on doctor.

 

It's absolutely counted as class A.

 

Our place used to give the most ridiculous physical you’d ever imagine. Whole thing took over 2 hours. Hooked up to wires like the 6 million dollar man (remember that show?) around your chest and head. Stepping to a metronome. Stacking weights and jumping on boxes all while hooked up to a heart rate machine.

Totally silly. The majority, literally majority, of people that actually got hired would fail the physical 2 or 3 times. They’d give you a couple weeks to go “get in shape” and then try again.

If you actually passed the marathon, you had a nice 10 panel hair follicle test to go to. As you can imagine, we were pretty much always short handed even though we technically “hired” drivers, none of them ever actually got to start. Lol

We’ve since dropped all that crap and do a basic DOT physical and whiz quiz. Crazy how much money they wasted

 

Ok Alvin. PM me your number and I’ll call you mañana. I can’t brain anymore today.

Sorry about that.

If you’d rather PM me please ask away and I’ll answer!

 

I hauled bulk cement products in a pneumatic tanker and aggregate for Cemex. There were a lot of these running around in that area. Absolutely Class A, at least for this particular setup.

 

I been to a goat rodeo and 2 state fairs and never seen anything like that

 

Well yea that's 80K combination.

They won't give you the time of day without one.

 

If you're doing massive high yardage pump jobs...industrial slabs, piers, pilings, or pre cast walls they're the way to go.
Not very much fun to do driveways and planters with though.
